Above signs, October 1993. Sowing the word Concordians and "Arma Pacis Fulcra," meaning "Weapons of Peace." Concordans is actually a Dutch word meaning a translation table that provides you with a numbering system for counting. As the original use of a chequer board or checker board in English was as a means of counting money (hence the Chancellor of the Exchequer).

LICENSE TRANSFERS.

In the case of the transfer of the license of the "Chequer's Inn," High Street, Sevenoaks, from Mr. Edwin Butler to Mr. Walter Shorter, the chairman said he took it that the incoming tenant was only taking on this trade for the first time.

Mr. Shorter replied in the affirmative.

The Chairman asked whether he had gone carefully through his agreement, and if he understood exactly under what terms he held the house.

Mr. Shorter: I think so. I am satisfied with it at present sir.
